7 Mississippi hospitals publish gross charges for muscle & joint symptoms (DRG 556). Prices range from $5,487 to $62,148 — roughly $56,660 apart. The cheapest is Yalobusha General Hospital & Nursing Home in Water Valley; the most expensive is North Sunflower Medical Center in Ruleville. The state average sits at $26,674.

The number you see is each hospital's published "list price" — the gross charge for the facility component of muscle & joint symptoms. Insurance plans negotiate substantial discounts, Medicare and Medicaid pay fixed federal rates, and uninsured patients can usually qualify for a cash-pay discount. But the gross charge still works as a useful benchmark: a hospital that lists muscle & joint symptoms at twice the price of another typically negotiates higher rates with insurers too, and quotes more for uninsured patients.

If you're scheduling muscle & joint symptoms in Mississippi, sort the list below by price, then click each hospital name to see its quality profile — CMS overall star rating, surgical-safety measures, readmission rates, patient-experience scores. The cheapest hospital isn't always the right call. Teaching hospitals often charge more because they take complex cases, and a higher-rated community hospital may deliver equivalent outcomes for a straightforward case at a lower price. Use the price column to narrow the field; use the quality data to make the final call.

Pricing comes from each hospital's Machine-Readable File (MRF), published under the federal Hospital Price Transparency Rule. Mississippi hospitals missing from the list either don't perform muscle & joint symptoms in volume, haven't published a usable price for DRG 556 in their most recent MRF, or fell below our data-quality thresholds (we filter out clearly erroneous entries like $0 charges). The list refreshes as hospitals update their files.
